... below 100 °C, adding the regenerator to the system has no benefit. However, the regenerator increases the power efficiency by about 1% for a heat source temperature above 130 °C. This was achieved with a very small size regenerator (D r = 6.5 mm, L r = 142 mm). Results show that there is a tradeoff...
